One day in Cassis

I will be arriving by car to Cassis around mid october and me and my husband will spend the day there before heading at night for Marseille. I do not want to simply sit at the beach. Any suggestions on what we could do or what parts of town to visit?

Thanks

Estela

You could take a boat tour to the Calanques http://www.ot-cassis.com/us/decouvrir/mer/

Cassis is very pretty and very small. Lunch at one of the many restaurants around the harbour is very nice and a trip to the Calanques as already suggested is a must if possible - I am not sure if the operate all year round.

You are going in mid October so the weather will be changeable. So you might just want to have a look around the town, lunch and then perhaps a visit to Aix before heading back to Marseille for the evening.

I am scheduled to go on a group tour to this area in February and our itinerary says we are going on this boat ride to see the calanques. Any one have an idea of what the weather is like in this area in the middle of February??

Could be a choppy ride if it is on one of the boats that do the Calanques tours in the summer.And dress up warm.Who organised the group%26#39;s itinerary? Did he/she not know that February is not the time to see the Calanques at their best. I did the 5 Calanques tour in June 2008 and I wasn%26#39;t really impressed although the weather conditions were favourable.

Thanks. This is a student trip, and this wasn%26#39;t our 1st choice in itinerary, but it%26#39;s what we have now. So we%26#39;ll make the best of it. I see on the boat%26#39;s website that they do have larger boats that will accommodate up to 70pp. So i%26#39;m guessing that they will pull out one of those? Cross your fingers for us. What might the temperature likely be around that time? Anyone know?

I would reckon about 13C although it will seem colder than that out at sea.Good luck.
